Thank you for the nice words.
This is a labor of love... plus I am retired and have the time to do it... and my wife allows it.
Actually you have more teams to cover than me. You have 32 teams, I only have 24.
My old dynasty, the All-Time All-Star Association, just had 16 teams. Boy, that was nice just to have to play 8 games a day. 12 is tough.
Actually, the most time-consuming thing is doing the write-ups. I can play a game in about 10 minutes as I only play from the seventh inning on, so I can make 90% of the subs. It probably takes 20 minutes to write up a game. To speed things up, I might try to condense the write-ups, but so far, haven't figured out a way to do it and do justice to the game wrap.
I am thinking of expanding to 48 teams for OOTP9, when the last patch is released. I am still using V2007 for this league. I would like to have the other great fictional towns I have created in my league. Originally, I had 60 towns. It was hard to cut down to 24. Teams like the Chicopee Braves, a town settled by Native Americans; the Tuckanarra Blue Jays, a town settled by some shipwrecked Australians and Aborigines; Arroyo Grande Suns, a town settled by the Islans, the earliest inhabitants of Arvonia Island, and later by the French and the English; the Valka Blackhawks, a town founded by Estonian emigres; the Belle Plaine Musketeers, a town founded by the French; the Kilkenny Cats, settled by the Irish; and the San Alejo Montaneros, settled by the Spanish.
I miss those towns.
